|
I slip out the backdoor into the night |
|
I can still feel the sun on my bare feet tonight |
|
I am waiting to meet you |
|
And waiting to see if you feel the same way about me |
|
Back in the 70's |
|
We were children of freedom |
|
Believing we'd make a difference when our time would come |
|
And in the darkness |
|
When the 4th grade movie played |
|
Our fingers touched togethe promising one day...that... |
|
Tomorrow I will be yours |
|
Tomorrow I will be yours |
|
Out on a boat with the bell from the shore and the sun so low (so low or solo??) |
|
I think I fell in love with ya |
|
When we always tied for first |
|
In clothes with holes and shoes too old and covered in dirt |
|
Always makin' me laugh |
|
Now you're - you're making me cry |
|
Your parents made some money and sent you away |
|
To a private prep school high...but |
|
I slip out the backdoor and into the night |
|
To the elm tree we promised we'd meet here tonight |
|
I have opened the skin with my grandmothers pin |
|
And we vowed under the stars to never forget |
|
Midnight Orion is clear in the sky |
|
I can feel you come closer to kiss me goodnight |
|
Oh please kiss me and hold me and have me again |
|
You're the one that I wanted |
|
Tomorrow I will be yours (4 times) |
|
Out on a boat with the bell from the shore, and the sun so low |
|
Yeah Yeah |
|
Yeah Yeah |
|
Yeah Yeah |
|
I slip out the backdoor and into the night |
|
All the years now between us dividing our lives |
|
I hear that you married in New Orleans |
|
And I wonder if you wonder still about me |
|
Slip out the backdoor and into the night |
|
To the elm tree I go and I laugh at Orion |
|
"Cause there in the bark lies our hearts in the tree |
|
Side by side |
|
Freshly carved |
|
Not by me |
